To customize the text for the builtin pages, please see Custom Strings.

For full customization you will need to use AJAX.
Please see wallEverything for an example.

Hello! Thank-you so much for Everything. :) I really love it because the HTTP server feature has made navigating the files on our home file server so much easier and more responsive. Over the past year I have built some convenient web UI enhancements for myself using v1.4 and the resources you list here. I've had some trouble getting them to work in v1.5, though, because I can't seem to set the "http_server_strings" INI variable properly.

The plugin refactor has clearly rearranged some things, and so my guess is that I need to set "strings_filename" in "plugins.ini" instead now. I tried shutting down Everything and editing that INI entry directly, and it works in one sense--it correctly preserves that setting each time I run and shut down Everything--but my HTTP string changes aren't reflected in the web interface like they used to in v1.4. Is it more likely that I'm doing something wrong or that this feature might have a bug since it's still in alpha?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!

Thank you for your feedback and support dfalkner,

Thank you for the bug report.

You will need to store the http_server_strings filename in your plugins.ini as you have already done.

Everything 1.5 is using the wrong variable names for your http_server_strings file.
I don't have a solution for the current version.

This issue will be fixed in the next alpha update.
I will post here once this is ready for testing.
